Beauty Find: Cocolicious

I HEART coconut scented & flavored things. So perfect for the middle of summer, but also for year round really! going into autumn too, Because usually they add richer scents to the mix of perfumes, such as, Sandlewood, amber or vanilla. It's an awesome feeling when you're in the shower and use coconut scented shampoo & conditioner, or you spritz on perfume that just so happens to be coconut scented. Or you slather yourself with coconut oil or use hand lotion in a coconut scent. and drinking coconut flavored drinks are wonderfully refreshing! See I told ya! I really like the smell/taste of coconut! It's tropical and refreshing! I have just a few items that I'm just as happy as a clam with using! And they're worthy of trying out for yourself!

I adore this perfume! I wear it practically every day I leave the house! It's so yummy! The brand name is Love & Toast! (Cute name, right?!) You can get it at Wholefoods : )
 
I really like this brand of sparkling water! I discovered it from one of the people I follow on instagram. It's the best when traveling. Each of the flavors I have tried are yummy. It's whatever kind of flavor you like! La Croix= Yum Yum!

I really like this sea-salt spray. It works well with my hair! It's perfect. But my roomie, she's not too keen on this product for her head O' hair, it made it too dry for her. She has thinner/curlier hair than I do, I have thick wavy-ish/straight-ish hair. But it works great to enhance the waves I do have in meh hair.
 
I don't actually own this perfume, I've just swooned over the scent for literally years! It's such a yummy scent! if you are ever at a sprout's, wholefoods, etc. go smell this perfume! I bet you'll like it! : )
 
I have used the shower gel, shampoo, conditioner & body lotion and I like the WHOLE line! The lotion is super rich & moisturizing! And very fragrant!
 
This drink is great for getting probiotics in your system, but the taste has a little to get used to! I don't hate it, but I'm not sure I like it either! It has some getting used to. But I probably will drink it again... Or maybe a different flavor.

I like organix hair care! I'm impressed with all of their shampoos & conditioners. It makes my hairs really soft! : )
Coconut oil is the miracle product of the century! It's like a one man band! You can use this stuff internally, sunbathing lotion, sunscreen, sunburn soother, hair mask, moisturizer, etc.
 
So, I hope you really liked this post! Enjoy - Ryn

DIY Friday: Fatty Coffee



First things first: I hate the name of this coffee, but I'm not really sure what to call it! So if you think of another name for it, comment below please!!! 👇👇👇

So my mom and I were watching a YouTube video from one of her bloggers she follows: Abel James. Well, he did this video on fatty coffee.. And it looked amazing! Yes there is a ton of "good" fat in it, so if you watch your caloric intake, this coffee isn't for you! But if you like coffee and you want something that satiates you in the morning for hours, this coffee is indeed, for you! I've made my own version for myself for about 4 days inconsistently. And each time, I feel full and ready to conquer the world! (I usually eat cottage cheese and banana with it...and sometimes protein.) But its the perfect pick me up! To tell ya the truth, it sounded a little weird to put a pat of butter in my coffee, but I was willing to try it. And It's pretty darn good, I must say! 
 Although, I haven't come up with a solution to travel with it or go to coffee shops and enjoy it there... that's still in the works...


 

Disclaimer: this only works with Hot coffee! Or a blended coffee drink. Believe me, I made the mistake of putting it in an iced coffee. I don't recommend it... Unless you dig chewy coffee... I just know I don't! Haha!

What you'll need: 
Hot Coffee
1 Tablespoon Coconut oil
1 Tablespoon Butter
Heavy whipping cream
Stevia (or sugar substitute of your choice) 
Mug


Do the same thing you usually do with making coffee. Water, coffee grounds & coffee pot, Keurig or French press, etc! (You can use your toddy coffee, you'll just have to heat it up on the stove or in the microwave)


I used this coffee ^^^ from Trader Joe's, but you are more than welcome to use your favorite coffee!


Turn your coffee pot on. (Big step right here!)


Gather you ingredients together:
Cream, butter & coconut oil.


And stevia....


Also grab your mug! 


Coffees READY! 😃

 
Pour coffee in your cup and get ready to put some odd but great things into your coffee! 


Add Butter.


Next, add coconut oil.
 

Then add yo cream! (I for one, like my coffee the same tone as Shakira)
 

And presto! Enjoy the satiated feeling you'll receive when enjoying this fantastic coffee! And all of the healthy benefits too!

Thanks for reading Ya'll, Ryn : )
